Swype is my favorite
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjoshzombie:
I've used Swype and Switkey before, but I've always went back to just using the physical keyboard on my Droid.

Currently though, I'm trying out the new Gingerbread keyboard and I'm liking more and more every day.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chesnut:
Meh, the only keyboard I can use is the Gingerbread one cause it's the only one with unique letters like õäöü. :(

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pryach:
Gingerbread. I like swype, but for some reason it just stops working (I swype a word and nothing happens). I have to reboot to fix it. Usually I am just too lazy and pull the gingerbread keyboard back up.

If you are uncomfortable with the keyboard what can you do. Replace a different one ah?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajasyaitan:
SwiftKey all the way. Haven't tried Swype though. Based on countless positive feedback in going to. Nonetheless SwiftKey is one hell of a keyboard.

GB nice keyboard. Except one thing - numbers. I prefers numbers on top.

Swype - no good for typing long messages, it's very good and nice toy

smart keyboard pro because it has all the skins to choose from iphone layout android layout and galaxy layout and htc layout to choose from and screen shots and you can customise the sizes as well.

ive tried lots of different ones but this is by far the best for me anyways

Swiftkey is the best for its AI
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikshepard:
I used to love Swype but it kept learning misspelled words and eventually I spent more time rewriting words or trying to remove misspelled words from its dictionary. (In all fairness, that was quite some time ago and things may be different now) Overall, I really like the gingerbread keyboard, it works well for my needs and isn't horrible on ram usage.

I have to agree the Samsung keyboard is really nice.

It is hard to find a stock keyboard that supports Hebrew on a custom rom.

Gingerbread and the HTC keyboard have a nice interface but the support of Hebrew is lacking on HTC.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Jones:
I have tried most of them. For touch input, the Gingerbread keyboard works best for me, although SwiftKey is great if you can get along with it. For swiping, Swype is good, but the latest beta has too many bugs. FlexT9 is a new one for me and I am loving it. I couldn't get on with SlideIT, it never predicted anything useful for me!

Swype + 1

or currently using swiftkey.. just like swype except gives u a lot more woed options the swype...

but once u get used to swyping there is no going back....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torikorocks:
I like smart keyboard pro.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SomethingAwesome:
I use swype because I almost never have two hands(or digits) on my phone.

Swype is by far the best for one hand typing. Once you get used to how it works it's very fast.

Tried SlideIT didn't like it, but it's been so long I can't remember why I stopped using it.

The stock keyboard in GB is nice, but has some layout issues.

8pen is a neat idea but the learning curve is incredibly steep and I don't think it is really much faster, if it is faster at all, once you get the hang of it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberStorm98:
My favorite keyboard has always been the HTC_IME, but I switched to the Gingerbread keyboard when it came out and fell in love........that is, until I found FlexT9. It's taken over as my favorite and only kb. I've found the swiping is as accurate if not better than swype, as a regular keyboard it works just like the HTC kb which is awesome. I would recommend it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdppdp:
thumb keyboard is the best

Yeah, I'm using it too. It also gives you the ability to choose different keyboard layouts for portrait and landscape mode what is indeed a really nice feature (galaxy tab).

Version 4 is already released. Lots of new options. I don't have them all figured out now. But you get more and more chances to customize layout like you want it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecrucible:
I alternate between Smart Keyboard Pro and SwiftKey. Right now I am defaulting to SwiftKey....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] window7:
GO Keyboard is useful as it can type chinese and english conveniently at the same time.

Occasionally, I will use swype, but I found that swype is way more harder to use when it comes to landscape mode :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SomethingAwesome:
Grammar aside, I would agree that swype is pretty useless in landscape mode... that said, I use my phone in landscape mode about 1% of the time so it doesn't bother me at all.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkioshi:
FlexT9 is the best for those who like swiping like me, the only problem (for me) is the lack of portuguese language so for now I'm using slideit.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guidoido004:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkioshi:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanMc85:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talz13:
With Swype, you can swype from the key next to SYM to the letter D and it will give you a much nicer calculator style layout.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeinstlouis:
For those of you did NOT put down Swiftkey, it's because you haven't used it.

It learns what you type and predicts your next word for you, with incredible accuracy.

I can literally type a whole paragraph by manly hitting the space bar. It is THAT good.

Gingerbread does not offer predictions for the next word...why is it so great?

I have tried em all, and always go back to swiftkey. It is just faster than anything else I have ever tried.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sultan.of.swing:
You need to properly wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. Just flashing the format all is not enough to wipe everything.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acerbusconfig:
ClockworkMod Recovery?

Are you not able to hboot?

If you can, I'd factory reset and wipe dalvik as well.

You might take a look at SalvageMod 1.0 as well. Fewer issues than the stock out of the box ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmoogle:
Find the clear-temp-files.zip and flash that after flashing the format-all.zip. Then flash the rom. This is especially important if you're coming from a sense rom. Also do not restore system data or system apps, if you use TB. Just restore user apps and data.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech-9:
Clockwork doen't wipe .. unless they fixed it .. IDK I don't use it because it wouldn't wipe all the data, then I would get stuck in a boot loop. Flash Amon Recovery, wipe all except system, then flash .. ENJOY!! :D

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Flashing it in the same method?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Knowingly, I wouldn't. As I stated before, I've never used MIUI. Seeing as its Froio based, you need to run the Froyo based. Though Gingerbread kernels CAN run on Froyo based roms.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erik077:
Use Amon_RA, wipe chache, flash phone with MIUI again, wipe chache one more time. That is what I did last night because I was getting stuck at boot animation screen. I did not flash kernel because I had ziggy already.

Always wipe.. wipe.. wipe .. lol. And if you get stuck in a boot loop .. reflash kernel :)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Assimilated Android:
b/c

b/c a stable 2.3 has not been developed yet. the 2.2.1 isn't all the way there yet either, however it's much, much more functional and will probably be stabilized much sooner than any 2.3 rom.
